At a special National College Signing Day assembly, 16 student-athletes were recognized for committing to play their chosen sport at the collegiate level.
Director of Athletics Josh Smith said, « We are proud to have sixteen students representing nine athletic programs. It takes countless hours of work, drive, and passion, and they have all served as great ambassadors for the school and its athletic programs. »
« These students have devoted numerous hours to their studies and sports, resulting in the terrific opportunities ahead for each of them, » said Matt Essman, Director of College Counseling. « We thank them for their many contributions to the MICDS community; we have enjoyed watching them compete over the past four years. »
Nine of the 16 student-athletes represent women’s sports, which led Smith to add, « Today is a two-for-one day, as it is also National Girls and Women in Sports Day. We’ve had a great start to the athletic year, which is due to how our students and coaches have pushed our girls’ programs to excellence. In honor of that, we say thank you. »
The student-athletes in attendance put pen to paper and donned their respective college hats, which the MICDS Parents Association Sports Boosters provided.
Congratulations to our Class of 2025 student-athletes!
